42 U.S.C. § 6914: Grants for discarded tire…

Summary

The Administrator must give grants that equal 5 percent of the purchase price of tire shredders, including portable shredders attached to tire-collection trucks. Anyone who can apply includes private buyers, government bodies, or public‑private partnerships. The Administrator will set rules for award decisions. The rules must give private buyers the first chance, try to spread shredding facilities across different areas, look at local need, and consider the project’s risk and chance of success. If a government body applies, the Administrator must first determine that no private buyer is interested before approving a grant to the government body. Up to $750,000 is authorized for each of the fiscal years 1978 and 1979 to carry out these grants.
